KEEPING YOUR JOOMLA! INSTALLATION SAFER AGAINST HACKS AND EXPLOITS

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve seen quite a few components abused to hack or deface sites. A lot of those exploits could have been avoided if these servers were running register_globals off. (Read carefully, i’m not talking about all hacks, but a lot of them)

A lot of information about what register globals actually is, can be found on the php.net site.

Now, to turn register globals off:

1) locate your php.ini configuration file
2) look for this line: register_globals = On
3) change it to: register_globals = Off
4) safe the file and restart apache

That is all to keep you a bit safer.

Now, if you don’t have access to your php.ini file, you can try to use a .htaccess file to change this configuration value. Add the following code anywhere in your .htaccess file:

php_value register_globals off

Then save the file.

And last, open globals.php

Change: define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 1 );
To: define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 0 );

And save the file.

SECURING YOUR ADMINISTRATOR DIRECTORY USING .HTACCESS FILES

To protect your administrator panel a bit more against hacking attempts, you can protect your administrator directory using htaccess files.

There are a few options available: restrict access by ip address and password protection

Restrict access by IP Address

If you are in the possession of a static IP Address it might be a wise idea to only allow access to the Joomla! administrator panel from that address. This can be easily done in the following way. Create an empty .htaccess file in your administrator directory. Put the following in it:

Change 10.0.0.150 in your static internet ip address. You can also use partial IP Addresses: 10.0.0
When you visit the admin panel from any other address than the one in here, you will see a 403 Forbidden error.

You can add multiple address by separating them by comma’s: 10.0.0.150,10.0.0.151

Password protection

You can also create an extra barrier by adding password protection to your administrator directory. Some admin panels like webmin and cpanel support the creation of password protected directories through their admin panel. For others, these are the steps to follow:
Create an empty file .htaccess in your Joomla! administrator directory. Put the following in it:

AuthType Basic
AuthName “Joomla Administrator”
AuthUserFile /full/path/to/joomla/administrator/.htpasswd

Modify the /full/path/to/joomla to match where your site is.

Then create an empty file .htpasswd in the same directory. You will have to enter the user name and encrypted password in that file. An easy tool to create this line is: http://www.flash.net/cgi-bin/pw.pl. Enter the user name and password and click encrypt.
On the next page you will see the user name and password that will have to be put in the .htpasswd file:
admin:1M8rRxU7VA6Ic

Copy and past that line in your .htpasswd file and things should work. To add another user, encrypt the user name and password and put them on the line below the first one.

Anda pengguna torrent?Anda bermasalah dengan kelajuan torrent anda?Cuba baca tutorial dibawah untuk maklumat lanjut:

1. Terhadkan kelajuan “upload” anda kepada 80 peratus daripada ketinggian kadar “upload” anda (paling penting).

Terhadkan kelajuan “upload” anda kepada 80 peratus daripada ketinggian kadar “upload” anda (paling penting)
.Anda boleh periksa kelajuan “upload anda disini.You can check your upload speed over here (jangan sesekali percaya pada ISP anda).Sekali anda mengetahui ketinggian kelajuan “upload” anda,tukar ketinggian “upload” (kepada 80%) kelajuan pada konfigurasi “torrent client” anda.

2. Periksa seed dan peer.

Tip yang ringkas,tapi amat penting.Sentiasa lihat dan pilih nisbah torrent dengan seed/peer yang bagus.Lebih banyak seed,lebih bagus torrent itu.Jadi 50 seeds dan 50 peer lebih bagus dari 500 seeds dan 1000 peer.Jadi,buat pilihan anda.

3. Tukar port biasa ke port lain.

Biasa,BitTorrent menggunakan port 6881-6999.Akaun BitTorrent untuk keseluruhan trafik internet (1/3),jadi ianya nampak terhad pada port ini.Jadi,anda patut tukar ini kepada julat yang lain. Klien yang bagus membenarkan anda lakukan ini,hanya perlu pilih apa sahaja yang anda suka.Jika anda dibelakang router,pastikan anda mempunyai “ports fowarded” atau UPnP diaktifkan.

4. Matikan Windows Firewall.

Teruk.Windows Firewall benci P2P dan menghalangnya sendiri.Jadi,matikan fungsinya dan jangan pasang aplikasi seperti Kerio atau Zone Alarm sebagai contoh.
